These green patched trilliums are rather neat. In the area there were many solid white and a few reds.

Two older type garden tools are depicted, both have plough blades. The larger of the two is ideal probably for about half and acre or more. The smaller is ideal for as backyard garden. I haven’t tried either yet, but am optimistic about purchasing the smaller one. I like the idea of bringing the bottom layer of soil to the top root surface, instead of rototilling. Anyway it will be an experiment.

12 April 2010 Pictures Ladder-backed Woodpecker and Robin.
Looking out the window, a robin and woodpecker were strutting around. This woodpecker is difficult to photograph, due to it having a large circle of fear. This is the best that could be done with a 200mm lens on a Nikon D90. It is probably mis-identified and is more likely the yellow bellied sapsucker.
13 April 2010 Woodpecker. The woodpecker returned and better close-up pictures were taken.
10 April 2010 Trillium
13 April 2010 Red Trillium in Bloom Zone 5
Walking in the woods a few red trilliums were found, not in full bloom, but the first real sign of Spring. I will return in about a week and post more pictures of the plants in full bloom. The white flowering trillium is the Provincial flower of Ontario. Here is a URL describing the flower.
Method of Posting Pictures.
The ‘bucket” systems are a poor method of posting pictures; in fact the buckets are Stonehenge technology. I developed this system over several years, when I got frustrated with the “free” bucket systems.The unique method I use is depicted below.
This means one can send pictures over the internet via E mail or to forums by simply sending the URL. There is no space involved on the receiver or the forum resources. This method is simple, but takes a little personal application, and increases your knowledge considerably, particularly about software and the internet. I use some other refinements developed over time.
Buy Breezebrowser. This simple program formats the HTML pages and allows annotating the photos, and is an excellent program for filing pictures. I file by year, month and day and some mnemonic file name. This is one of my favorite picture handling programs. http://www.breezesys.com/
Get a web host. This costs about seven dollars a month and stores all your pictures. I use Midphase. Here is the purchase site. http://www.midphase.com/
Get an FTP program. There are many but I use WS FTP Pro. Firefox has a built in FTP plug in for FTP. WS FTP purchase site. http://www.gabn.net/junodj/ws_ftp.htm
To shorten the URL’s use notlong.com, until you desire a better system, which is not essential but convenient. http://notlong.com/
This is what your postings will look like. You simply post the shortened URL. The recipient receives pictures that download quickly and are a pleasure to view.
